It's a real treat to have family with us during Thanksgiving while living out here in Philly. We've been looking forward to having Glenn's parents, sisters and brother Shad with us for a while now and we had a wonderful time!
Since Jayda still had school and I was so busy in the kitchen, I wasn't able to come along with them every day, but they were able to go into the city, and see Valley Forge. The day I did go along we checked out Kitchen Kettle (never get sick of that place!), had lunch at the Smorgasbord, and rode the tour at Hershey. We also drove through the Hershey Sweet Lights Tour which is a fun two miles of Christmas Lights, including a Christmas forest. It was no Temple Square or Longwood Garden, but it was still a lot of fun.
The day before Thanksgiving was Glenn's birthday, which was great to celebrate with Glenn's family in town. He is now one year away from being thirty! I love this guy so dang much, it's hard to believe that we're about to enter a new decade together.
Thanksgiving day was a blast for me. I woke up, put the apron on and got busy making everything from the turkey to the stuffing, to the best brussel sprouts I've ever had. The rest of the family pitched in with their really yummy desserts. A very satisfying meal indeed!
The rest of the time was spent hanging out, playing games, eating more great food and watching a lot of Glee, a show that I am currently and utterly obsessed with. We had a wonderful time! Enjoy the pictures, they're totally out of order, but I'm sure you can figure it out :)

Looks like you guys had a blast! I still miss all the fun things there are to do in and around Philly. The midwest is pretty boring. Your apartment looks different! Where is the big desk? I love the dining table!!
Aww I love the picture of the kids helping peel the potatoes:) SO CUTE! I need to enlist my kids for that task in the future! I NEED to try your brussel sprouts!
